What it is

SmiteFire is a player strategy community under MOBA Network, built specifically for the third-person MOBA games SMITE and SMITE 2. It is currently the most mainstream strategy-sharing platform in the global SMITE player community. Its core content centers around creating guides for in-game god builds and playstyles, as well as facilitating player discussion.

Core Features & Pricing

The platform's core features include:

• A fully comprehensive database covering every god in both SMITE 1 and SMITE 2, with organized information on all gods' abilities and items
• Support for both casual players and pro players to publish original custom builds and play guides
• An overall god tier list
• Open forum and blog sections for players to discuss game content and share experiences

All core features on the platform are completely free. Only publishing content and interacting with comments requires a registered account, with no paid subscriptions or paywalls for any content.

Pros and Cons

Pros:
Most top-voted guides on the platform come from high-ranked or even professional SMITE players, so the content is far more professional than guides created by casual players. Updates also keep up closely with game patches, and polished guides are available very soon after a new god releases. Navigation and filtering are clear, even new players can quickly find guides for their role and desired god, all core content can be viewed without logging in, so the barrier to use is very low.

Cons:
The platform's interface design is rather outdated, and has occasional duplicate loading issues. At the same time, the user blog section is loosely moderated, so there is a fair amount of irrelevant spam advertising. The platform only supports English, which is unfriendly to Chinese players. Unregistered users cannot publish content, and creating guides without logging in carries a risk of losing progress.

Who It's For & Accessibility From China

This platform is suitable for all SMITE and SMITE 2 players, especially new players just getting into the game and players looking to rank up and improve. The website is directly accessible from Chinese IP addresses right now, no VPN is required.
